LLMFeeder is a browser extension designed to streamline the process of converting web pages into clean Markdown format for use as context in Large Language Models. It offers a one-click solution for users needing to quickly capture and format web content, enhancing productivity for LLM-powered workflows.

How It Works

The extension employs Mozilla's Readability.js to intelligently extract the main content from web pages, discarding extraneous elements. This extracted HTML is then processed by Turndown.js to generate Markdown. The entire operation is performed client-side within the browser, ensuring user privacy and data security without external server communication.

Quick Start & Requirements

Installation is recommended via the Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons. Alternatively, users can download release zip files and load them as unpacked extensions, or build from source using git clone and either ./scripts/build.sh or make commands. Building from source requires zip, jq (optional), and make. A demo video is available.

Limitations & Caveats

The extension's functionality is confined to content renderable within a web browser. Building from source requires specific command-line tools (zip, jq, make).
